Chiellini wants Diamanti at Juve

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini said he would be "delighted" if his club sign Bologna attacker Alessandro Diamanti.

The 30-year-old has enjoyed a good season in the Serie A, scoring seven goals from 33 appearances.

His form has seen him linked with a move to Turin, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Juventus were keen on signing the Italy international.

And Chiellini would be pleased if his side can secure the former Brescia, Livorno and West Ham United player, who is also his close friend and international team-mate.

"I'd be delighted," Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia.

"First of all because Alessandro is a great player. He's turned out to be decisive for the national team despite playing for Bologna, and we know how difficult it is to make an impact at a provincial team.

"And secondly because he is a great friend. I have known him for years. I hope he arrives here."
